When you get to Junction headed east, take the first exit into town..turn RIGHT and go "into" town on the main drag. Look for a gas station/store on the right called "Lums" after a mile or so. Best bbq you can buy in my neck of the woods. Brisket, ribs, sandwiches, beans, potato salad, pies, pasta, anything you want they got it. Dont forget a longneck. DON'T turn left under the interstate and go to Coopers. Too much hype about that place. Not near as good. Let me know if you want, I'll give you a personal escort!

 

Becareful on I10 drivers are nutty in the Houston Metro area and do what they want. On the BBQ thing try this

If we leave San Jose calif on the 2nd of June which is the plan we should be coming into Junction in the afternoon of the 5th

 

Keep me updated, I'll see what's happening that week.

 

About 1 hour west of Houston, right off I-10, you'll find Hinz's in Seeley. Just get off the freeway, look south and on the east side of main str. VERY authentic but save room for dewberry cobbler. Great spot to psych and rest before Houston traffic. Be very careful on I-10 through Houston!!!!!!!!

 

My favorite is Black's in Lockhart, a few miles north of I 10 a bit east of SA

 

Take a look at this link and match the locations up with your route. Texas Monthly has been doing these Top 50 Texas BBQ joints pieces annually for years and is a great source. IMO you want sliced brisket, not chopped, for the real deal. Of course not on this list are some great places, too. If you decide on Franklin's in Austin, get there early.

 

does anyone have any recommendations' for any thing around E lPaso

 

Cattleman's in Fabens. Not BBQ, but excellent steaks in a fun setting.
